A glass table, supported by a wrought iron branch and set on a wavy granite base. The lighting fixtures, which evoke life on a boat, are plated in pure gold. Two mirrors are also added, designed by an artist who worked for the Vatican, whose intent was to bring the sea that can be seen from the large terrace into the lounge. Two images are carved in relief on them. In the first a nude woman sitting from behind on a beach, while the second depicts a sunset with some seagulls flying.

All this, to create a balanced correspondence between the interior of the apartment and the surrounding nature.
Curiosities about the DOLCE SPOSA
The apartment is one of the most notable in the Villaggio la Dolce Sposa, designed by Luigi Vietti, a great exponent of the Italian rationalism.
At the beginning of the sixties, Prince Karim Aga Khan IV commissioned him together with Jacques Couelle and Michele Busiri Vici to plan his interventions in the Costa Smeralda. In this context he created the center of the village of Porto Cervo, hotels such as the Cervo and the Pitrizza, the Dolce Sposa complex and many prestigious villas such as the Cerbiatte, chosen by Prince Karim to make it his home. These were his "places of the soul" as Vietti defined them.
La Dolce Sposa, one of the first settlements he built on the tip that closes the bay of Porto Cervo. Thanks to the centrality of the apartment, unique in its kind, the panorama embraces both the old port and the marina.
Furthermore, nature is of particular beauty, the area where the Dolce Sposa stands, the vegetation, among breathtaking rocks, is made up of from trees several centuries old, perfectly formed, but reduced to small and twisted by the wind, true Japanese bonsai.
But where does the name of the complex come from? Mentasti, shipowner of the Southern Cross and one of the first buyers of the lands of the Costa Smeralda, had a wife named Riccarda, who he liked to jokingly call "my sweet wife". It ended up that the place where the woman loved to spend almost every day, despite the large number of wonderful locations in the surrounding area, was the beach where the village now stands. So, Vietti decided to call it "The sweet bride".
